Hi there everyone!
I can’t believe it has been pretty much an entire year since I first wrote about the gladiator sandal trend that was sweeping the fashion world in 2008. In my, obviously “inept opinion” I was wrong about these sandals taking off as well as they did and they ending up still being on the list of summer fashion list of do’s.
Seriously, I still don’t see the appeal. In 90% of the cases I actually think it makes a lady look worse than when she started.
As the summer days slowly creep back into Cape Town I began to see the gladiator sandals from last season being dragged from the back of the closet, dusted off and reintroduced with the rest of the hot Spring/Summer fashions. Will the gladiator sandal become the next enduring summer footwear fashion for ladies? I shudder to think that the lines will begin to blur and some “brave” men start to try and pull this trend off. Please guys this one was buried with the rest of Classic Rome for a good reason. I don’t care if you think you look like some kind of sword swinging Roman legionnaire…this fashion trend will at best make you look like Socrates..and we all know which way he swung LOL.
